Explanation
Passwords for deployed components in VMware Cloud Foundation can be retrieved using the SDDC Manager UI, API, or CLI. Each method provides a way to securely access stored passwords without requiring a reset. The Configuration Workbook is used during deployment planning and does not store live passwords after deployment, and resetting passwords is not part of the querying process.

Correct: The SDDC Manager UI provides a Password Management tab where administrators can view and manage passwords for deployed components.
- B. Correct.
Correct: The SDDC Manager API allows querying passwords through programmatic methods by specifying the component details.
- C. Correct.
Correct: The SDDC Manager CLI includes commands, such as 'get-password,' which can retrieve the password for specific deployed components.

- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect: The VMware Cloud Foundation Configuration Workbook is for initial deployment and planning, not for querying passwords after deployment.
